I liked Tom Scott's recent video on the subject of AI.

I'm waiting for when I can ask a bot: "Make me a version of FFVII with modern graphics and voice acted dialogue."

How many people live on Mars?
Currently, the population of Mars is about 2.5 billion people. If you add the population of North America, that brings the total to about 6.5 billion. Mars has a very low population density because Mars is a large planet with a very thin atmosphere. That means that the majority of the population is concentrated near the surface of the planet.

MS hooked ChatGPT up to Bing, the same ChatGPT that is well known for being very assertively and confidently utterly wrong.

Everytime I get bollocks google results I’m now heading to bing and it always gives exactly what I’m after.

I was randomly curious about moisture evaporation and recalled a formula for calculating the energy required to collect x amount of water from the air using a dehumidifier. Google gave some uninteresting results. Bing allowed me to input values and get back a direct answer.

Using ChatGPT to write my job descriptions at work - saves me fucking hours and hours.

Also using it to get summaries from annual reports saving me similar time.

It's definitely having its uses - but also makes me worry about how corporates (capital) will benefit a lot and people (labour) will get minced.

It's very quickly becoming clear that if you're not leveraging AI in assisting with your workload, you're going to be falling behind. This is a fairly straight forward and comprehensive demonstration of how you can use AI to perform complex workload: https://youtu.be/pspsSn_nGzo.

The NZ government should develop its own AI, work to maximise the volume of kiwi knowledge and data to be accessible to this kind of AI, so that as kiwis ask kiwi questions, we get kiwi answers.

Just like search engine results and social media algos impact society and culture due to their functional biases, so will this kind of AI. And there's the reality that we could get accustomed to/dependent on the tech and have it pulled from under us. We need at least the option to independently maintain capacity.

Krishna's already got an AI chatbot... so if we want a NZ version, we can expect to pay tens of millions, wait 18 months, and get something which gives poor results, and uses Maori words when English ones will do just fine.

If you really want a Kiwi chatbot, I'd suggest making it yourself - even if you have to learn things, it'll still be faster than waiting for our current useless politicians.

I used ChatGPT to summarize a 16 chapter book for me yesterday, chapter by chapter. It worked really well until I told it to summarise chapter 17.
It outputted a genuinely convincing summary, just as it had 16 times before. I asked it "Are you sure that's the summary for chapter 17?" and it simply replied

Quote:
I apologize for the confusion. I made a mistake in my previous response. That book does not have 17 chapters. It has 16 chapters, and my previous response mistakenly referred to a non-existent chapter. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Like it outright lied to me, and all of a sudden i couldn't trust any of the previous entries either. Dangerous.

It does that quite often. Did you ask for 1 chapter at a time. I was trying it with a game, it seems to get stuck after a while.

Not sure if I posted here, I also had it try and do a formula for me. The formula was longer but it essentially went.

2 + 2 + 2 = 6, and that is how you get the answer 10.

It seems to do a lot better at language than at mathmatics

There are a lot more words and sentences on the internet than numbers. It’s a fancy autocorrect; if it comes across an equation it hasn’t been trained on, it has no idea what characters should come next.

I instructed it to reply to me in reverse, which seemed to work OK, but then it started making weird errors and things didn't make sense when you reversed its reverse text. But I was talking to it naturally, rather than trying to prompt it in specific ways, so it's quite possibly my fault.

Sony is permanently on my list of companies that I will never trust.

Quote:
Sony's Aitrios could make Raspberry Pi devices even more powerful. Sony has pitched the system for uses like surveillance, security and more. This could include inventory monitoring and retention, customer counting, license plate recognition and employee analysis.

Sony noted that it preserves privacy by analyzing data strictly on-chip and only sending metadata to the cloud.
Fuck you very much. "Oh it's not real data, it's just metadata" is the tagline of every privacy-raping surveillance program ever.

And beside all that, for me the appeal of the RPi has always been that there's nothing there that doesn't need to be there. A Sony metadata surveillance chip does not need to be there in the same way that a fan-cooled GPU or a floppy disk drive do not need to be there.

So I gave Google's Bard a go. Generally a little slower than ChatGPT, but gave really good answers, and did a great job at a few tasks I gave it. Except one.

Me: How can I add Bard's functionality to a Windows 11 Desktop?
Bard: There are two ways, you can either download the Bardify app that will integrate into your Windows toolbar, or create a shortcut in your browser.
M: Great, tell me more about Bardify
B: It's amazing. You'll love it.
M: ...Is Bardify real?
B: I'm sorry, you're right, Bardify does not exist.

What the christ.

The A.I. Dilemma - March 9, 2023

It seems the tech is going to be obviously and unpredictably disruptive. Maybe we could do with a bit of that right now? Yeah, there will be chaos, suffering. But there always is, some of us have just gotten comfortable with that being other people.

My money is still on those who don't benefit from stable financial, legal, social infrastructure leap-frogging ahead. While those in developed countries try prop up the traditional institutions their wealth hinges on.

I mean, maybe we get smoked. But we've always existed at the whims of forces far greater than us. 😅

Haven't watched the video yet but have bookmarked, cheers. Tristan Harris is a smart dude and I like his stuff.

The arguments are two different strands happening in parallel as far as I can tell.

First: this is a technology disruption like the Agricultural Revolution or the First (waterpower, steampower) and Second (electricity) Industrial Revolutions. A new tool has come along and it will destroy jobs and professions and industries. The thing is, this tool is coming for the Eloi. It's coming for "brain workers". Writing, calculation, research, art. It was OK when it was dirty poor people who were getting fucked out of livelihoods but this time around it's affecting people like us.

Second: "paperclips", we all know what that means. Two possible outcomes of actual AGI: we become immortal, we go extinct.

I think the drama involved in the second strand of the argument is stopping people from engaging sensibly with the first.

Firstly, props for the Time Machine reference.
The key thing is that this isn't making manual labour more efficient and replaceable, like the prior industrial revolutions. It's making intelligent labour more efficient and replaceable.
But we also have a terribly shit sense for forecasting the future of technology, so who the fuck knows.
I don't have my meal in a pill, my robotic arm that turns the newspaper for me, or my flying car, because profitable innovation in technology steered so far away from simply extrapolating what experiences people of the time had to leverage in their forward thinking.

I'm aware of the fact that we're only looking at possibilities with the context of living in 2023, and don't have any clue what we'll be doing with AI in 50-100 years time, because it's still too early to tell.
We're being wowed by the Wright Brothers in 1903, discussing how flying vehicles will work, with no capacity to imagine the practicalities of landing on the moon 66 years later, air superiority winning wars, international passenger travel, and you know, the Ford Model T and everything that came after it.

We can't look at it in isolation. So many other factors went into those technological advancements, not just "flight", exactly like how it won't be "just AI." What geopolitical pressures, or Eureka moments, or Great Men™ will arrive to push the needle one way or another.


Wake me up when AI can create a more effective AI that can create a more effective AI that can create a more effective AI that can create a more effective AI that can create a more effective AI...

Hmmm

StN : Who is the Prime Minister of New Zealand?

Bard : The current Prime Minister of New Zealand is Chris Hipkins. He is the leader of the New Zealand Labour Party. He took office on 25 January 2023, after the Labour Party won the 2023 New Zealand general election.

StN : Tell me more about the 2023 general election.

Bard : Sure. The 2023 New Zealand general election was held on Saturday, 14 October 2023. It was the 27th general election to be held in New Zealand since the introduction of the mixed-member proportional (MMP) electoral system in 1993.

The election was held to elect 120 members to the unicameral New Zealand House of Representatives. Voters cast two votes: one for a candidate in their electorate, and one for a party. The party with the most votes gets the most seats in Parliament, but the number of seats each party gets is also proportional to the number of votes they received.

The Labour Party won the election with 46.9% of the vote, winning 65 seats. The National Party came second with 35.8% of the vote, winning 33 seats. The Green Party won 10 seats, ACT won 10 seats, and the Māori Party won 4 seats.

Chris Hipkins, the leader of the Labour Party, was elected Prime Minister. He formed a coalition government with the Green Party and the Māori Party.

The main issues in the election were the economy, housing, and climate change. The Labour Party promised to create jobs, build more affordable housing, and take action on climate change. The National Party promised to grow the economy, reduce taxes, and invest in infrastructure.

The election was the first in New Zealand to be held entirely online. Voters were able to register to vote and cast their votes online for the first time.

The election was also the first in New Zealand to be held during the COVID-19 pandemic. The government took a number of measures to ensure that the election could be held safely, including requiring voters to wear masks and social distance.

The 2023 general election was a close election, with the Labour Party winning by a narrow margin. The election was seen as a referendum on the Labour Party's record in government, and the party's victory was a sign that New Zealanders were satisfied with the government's handling of the economy and the COVID-19 pandemic.

StN : Good to know - I'll keep these numbers in mind when we get to October 2023.

Bard : Sure, I'm glad I could help. The 2023 general election is still a few months away, but it's never too early to start thinking about the issues that are important to you and your community. I encourage you to stay informed about the election and to make your voice heard.

StN : How can the Prime Minister be elected in the 2023 General Election when it hasn't happened yet?

Bard : I apologize for the mistake. The 2023 general election has not yet happened, so the Prime Minister has not been elected yet. The next general election will be held on Saturday, 14 October 2023.

AI is a force multiplier. Humans are an essential part of this equation. Even an AI obsessed with paper clips will find itself aligning with reality in its pursuit of its agenda, which is human friendly. Given humanity's journey includes billions of years of aligning with what works.

I think we're projecting out the alignment problem. The first thing that's "not us" that could conceivably have an agenda and we immediately worry it might not be aligned with our own interests. But that's a central struggle both between each other and within ourselves already. Many completely avoid any kind of deep introspection as to what their interests genuinely are, and those who make the effort realise it's an endless one.

The real concern is disrupting the status quo and what happens in the scramble, the churn. But really only if you're banking on equity. And there are a lot of people in no place to bank on equity.

That's where the disruption occurs. The disempowered become empowered. I wonder if it's kids we should be really concerned about? They'll be the fastest to integrate the tech. I can't imagine they share interests with the status quo. Kids in volume, able to get effective results from AI. What does that look like when that clusters?

Existing power might have a head start, but I don't think they can weather the brute force of entire populations being hyper-enabled.

So us folk in this bubble are more likely to be in a position to worry, than not.

If you include kids whose parents work for a living as rich. Which is definitely true is some regards.

However their parents work for the interests of those who control the bulk of our resources, that small subset of interests. Interests that are minimally aligned to the rest of ours, to maximise the effort we put into theirs.

That's where the disruption may occur at least.
